What is traditional astrology?
Traditional (or classical) astrology reads your chart with the seven visible planets, Whole Sign houses, sect, dignities, and other condition-based techniques used before the modern era.
Instead of giving a psychological portrait by itself, this layer asks a narrower technical question: what kind of support does each planet receive, and what context would the rest of the chart add?
How dignity works
Each planet is scored by essential dignity — whether it sits in a sign it rules, is exalted, has triplicity support, owns the bound or face, or occupies a sign of detriment or fall.
Sect — whether yours is a day or night chart — decides which triplicity ruler is active. The almuten of the Ascendant is the planet with the strongest dignity claim over that degree.
The classical toolkit
How much natural sign-based support a planet receives. It is a condition measure, not a whole-chart verdict.
Day or night chart. It decides which triplicity ruler is active and adds context to planetary condition.
When two planets sit in each other's signs — a mutual favour that can soften a hard contact.
Bright stars beyond the zodiac; a close contact lends their old, specific reputation to a planet.

Where it comes from
These techniques run from Hellenistic Egypt through Persian astrologers like Abu Ma'shar to Renaissance figures such as William Lilly. Recovered from old texts over recent decades, they are in active practice again.
